Beacon Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to ensure that homeless cats and dogs are given a safe haven from shelters that euthanize animals. Beacon conducts their organization as a rescue for animals, not a shelter. What’s the difference you may ask? When a shelter receives a pet, the cat or dog will be tested and evaluated to determine if the animal is adoptable or not. The three things that are considered when making this decision are the age, temperament, and health of the animal. If the animal is deemed adoptable, it is given an estimated duration at the shelter. The pets that are deemed un-adoptable are rejected and slated to be euthanized. This is where Beacon steps in.
